I am curious if you understand that the 20 years of no warming means the climate models and the alarmists were wrong. You try to cover this up by saying "Oh, the heat isn't going into the air, but the sea."
20 years of no warming? What the hell planet are you living on? The ten hottest years on record (since we started keeping detailed records in 1880) have all occurred within the last 17 years!

They are 1998, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2013, and 2014.
Yes, the temperature rise has not been as severe as people thought it would be in 2001. Yes, it's because a lot of the heat they thought would be going into the atmosphere has been going into the ocean instead. But the temperature rise is still happening, and the ocean temperature can't rise forever without affecting the rest of the world.
Oh, and while we're at it, here's another nice statistic from the NOAA. Hurricane damage is showing an interesting trend too.
